ABSTRACT

A compressor includes a cylinder housing having a number of pistons, a control chamber communicating with piston casings, a suction chamber and a discharge chamber communicating with the piston casings, a control valve includes a receptacle engaged in the cylinder housing, a valve member engaged in the receptacle for controlling the pressurized air to flow from the discharge chamber into the control chamber of the cylinder housing, and a valve element for controlling a bypass of the pressurized air through the receptacle. A bellow device is connected to actuate the sliding member internally, and a sliding member is slidably engaged in the control space of the receptacle, and to operate the valve element externally with a solenoid device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a control valve for compressor, and more particularly to an internally and externally controlled control valve for a variable displacement compressor of a refrigeration system including an improved and simplified structure or configuration for allowing the compressor of the refrigeration system to be effectively actuated or operated by the internally and externally controlled control valve.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Typical refrigerating systems, such as the automotive air conditioning systems comprise a refrigerant circuit having a condenser, an evaporator, and a wobble plate type or slant plate type compressor with a variable displacement mechanism, in which the variable displacement mechanisms may be controlled either internally or externally.

For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,071,321 to Skinner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,092,741 to Taguchi, U.S. Pat. No. 5,152,673 to Pettitt et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 5,167,492 to Kent et al. disclose several of the typical variable displacement mechanisms for wobble plate type or slant plate type compressors controlled internally with bellow devices or the like, and controlled by a suction chamber pressure and in response to a discharge chamber pressure and a crankcase pressure formed inside a crankcase chamber.

A “bellow” device, such as a sylphon bellow is a thin-walled cylindrical metal bellow consisting of elements arranged responding to external or internal fluid pressure, and used in a pressure-governing system. The control mechanism comprises a passage way communication between the crankcase chamber and discharge chamber. A control valve is in response to a pressure difference between the crankcase chamber and the discharge chamber and provides a fluid path between the crankcase chamber and the discharge chamber to allow refrigerant from the discharge chamber to be injected into the crankcase chamber through the fluid path provided by the control valve under the influence of the pressure of the pressure difference inside the suction chamber. The “bellow” device is responsive by a suction pressure connected to the suction chamber for allowing the wobble plate type or slant plate type compressors to be controlled internally with bellow devices or the like.

However, the typical variable displacement mechanisms for wobble plate type or slant plate type compressors should normally be actuated or operated at a rate ranging between 6-100%, and may not be shut off completely while in use, without an outside of compressor control device, such as a clutch device or a solenoid device.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,240,385 to Nashiro et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,586,870 to Kawaguchi et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,241,484 to Hiltemann, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,250,891 to Kawaguchi et al. disclose the other typical variable displacement mechanisms for wobble plate type or slant plate type compressors controlled externally with vehicle electrical control unit (ECU) or vehicle electrical control module (ECM), including a “solenoid” inside the control valve and disposed between a discharge chamber and a crankcase chamber, for controlling a crankcase pressure in response to a signal generated outside of the compressor, such as the vehicle electrical control unit (ECU) or vehicle electrical control module (ECM).

However, the typical variable displacement mechanisms for wobble plate type or slant plate type compressors may only be controlled externally with the signals from the vehicle electrical control unit (ECU) or vehicle electrical control module (ECM), and should normally be actuated or operated at a fast speed such that the working life of the typical variable displacement mechanisms will be greatly reduced or decreased.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,025,636 to Terauchi discloses a further typical variable displacement mechanism for wobble plate type or slant plate type compressor that may be controlled both internally with such as a bellow device and externally with such as a solenoid device.

However, the typical variable displacement mechanisms include a complicated structure or configuration that may not be easily and quickly made or manufactured and that may include a complicated making or manufacturing procedure and that may include a greatly increased manufacturing cost or the like. The internally controlled mechanism and the externally controlled mechanism are spaced or separated from each other, but not in one control body unit.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional control valves for compressors.
